Hi there! I will take a look today and let you know

Got a similar bug when developing locally

PS C:\Users\pedro\OneDrive\Escritorio\shortest> pnpm shortest:dev --headless

> @ shortest:dev C:\Users\pedro\OneDrive\Escritorio\shortest
> npx tsx packages/shortest/src/cli/bin.ts "--headless"

Probably obvious but may as well leave it here. It only happens on windows, I ran the same command on a linux devcontainer and worked fine. From my debugging, it seem to be related to the TestCompiler class, so maybe worth taking a look

Cannot really test this one as I am not a windows user.

However, I can help you with troubleshooting:

1. looking at temp path, I see two abnormalities: 'C::' at then end of the path and the fact that disc is always C
2. apparently the problem is this line of code
3. path.join is a platform independent way to concatenate paths. The drive letter on the other hand is windows only
4. apparently, tmpdir gets tmp dir from you computer ENV, verify it's set up correctly. if the problem is here, we should open PR to stop to depend on user's computer config
5. try to delete the folder if it's present, hard code the line with correct path and run it again

let me know if any of this helps

Im also getting the same issue running on windows. anyone been able to resolve? thanks

I'll work on a fix. I have a windows machine, and I think a good chunk of users would be trying this library in a windows machine, it should be bug free.

great! If you need any help with this, reach out. we can also have a call

A call would be great actually!

@PedroAVJ Looks like this is fixed but not merged. Is there any way I can get the fix and try it out?

You can run pnpm pack to build the tgz bundle and use that when running pnpm install. We can setup a quick discord call if you want

Please merge the PR.

@patelmayankce have you had a chance to try out the changes on your end as well? It would be great to test in a another Windows environment before merging.
